    object is really just the common set of properties all objects in Python support, so I would call object the "bare bones" of an instance/class/metaclass. A class (like int) is really just an extension of type one level down. type dictates what you can and cannot do with a class while the class dictates what you can and cannot do with an instance.

  • Right, but is it possible to put in attributes in meta-classes which affect instances of the class they created? Commented Feb 25, 2017 at 15:38
